Deep dives
Packing List Prep for Upcoming Event
Getting ready for an event almost like WWDC, the hosts discuss packing lists and the difference in their packing strategies. While one prefers flying by the seat of his pants and buying things as needed, the other ends up relying on a list sent by his partner to ensure he doesn't forget essentials.
Playlist Sync Confusion
The hosts encounter syncing issues with Apple Music playlists, where inconsistencies arise between devices. Despite challenges, they aim to update the shared playlist for listeners with fresh music selections, including songs from both hosts and new artists like Fila, relating to automation discussions.
Introduction of New MacStories Podcasts
The hosts introduce two new MacStories podcasts, 'NPC' focusing on portable gaming and 'Comfort Zone' exploring tech challenges and new experiences. 'NPC' delves into portable gaming hardware and the gaming revolution, while 'Comfort Zone' encourages stepping out of comfort zones with technology through challenges and new discoveries in each episode.
This week, John’s off to WWDC, our MacStories Unwind playlist gets updated, two new podcasts join the MacStories podcast family, and a sad story about the USPS and Anbernic’s RG35XXSP. Plus an immersive video pick for the Vision Pro and a music pick.
